Looking at diagnostic tools that are hand held, Palm Pilots, PDA`S, custom made etc for specific tasks.
For example laboratory balances, GPS, some makes of cars etc have RS232 data outputs.
It would be great if one could just have a small board for one specific task connected to a portable or semi portable display screen so you can read the data output instead of using a large desktop or pc104 computer, just something simple to do the one task.
Is there anything in the line of PICS or other simular advanced microcontrollers that can do these tasks that can be connected to a VGA screen that can read the RS232 output of these devices.
Of course any programing that is necessary or Iam best with just making up my own interfaces and programming in C+++, gwbasic and using a pc104.
Thanks Russel
